Welcome to AP Language and Composition!
Course OverviewIn AP Language and Composition, we will examine the techniques and approaches writers use to create meaningful text. This course requires intensive reading of prose written in a variety of periods, on a variety of subjects and extensive writing for a variety of purposes. Though the course does include a few works of fiction, non-fiction (narrative journalism, speeches, essays, memoirs, creative non-fiction) will be our primary focus. Our writing assignments range from informal, reflective journals to formal, critical papers that emphasize analysis and argumentation.
Due Date: Because of the intense nature of the course, it is essential that you begin utilizing critical reading, thinking and writing skills prior to the first class meeting. Please read carefully the instructions for all three parts of this assignment; all parts of this assignment are due on the first day of class. Be prepared to share your work in class discussions and small groups.
